MILLIONS LOST BY A STRIKE.
Figures Which Show the Folly of the
Coke Region Hands.


PITTsBURG, July 22-The coke strike,
which has just ended, was one of the most
stubbornly contested battles ever fought be-
tween capital and labor For eleven weeks
and four days the fight went on, and now
that it is over the feeling between the men
and the operators is, IL anything, more cor
dial than it ever was before. Tho amount
of money lost by the long idlcnesS cannot be
accurately calculated, but it runs up into
the millions. When the strike began four
tfths of the II 600 men in the region had
money of their own.
PENNILEss NOW.
But very few of them have enough money
now to take them out of the district if they
wanted to leave. For the first six weeks
all of the II 900 were striking. The average
wages paid, including mine boys at Zoe.
day and coal miners at from So so to S5 a
day, is 81 05. Counting at that rate good
men lost during the first five weeks 1858, 800
in wages. Then A. Carnegie gave an ad-
vance, and 5000 men went to work, For
the six weeks remaining 5000 have been
carrying on strike, and have lost S442, 800,
making a total loss in wages of S996, 300
If sliding scale equal to 1215 per cent. ad-
year and nine months steady work to make
up for the time they lost.
LOSSES OF THE OPERATORS.
The operators have also been heavy losers.
The pumps have been kept running, all the
pits, yard and pit bosses, superintendents,
and clerks have been drawing salaries, and
mules and horses have been getting fat on
oats and hay that they did not earn. AT
West Leisenring, where the Pinkerton men
have been stationed, the expense has been
over $1,000 day since the strike began.
Besides this the ovens have become cold and
badly out of repair. Fully a third of them
all over the region will have to be over
hauled before coal can be put into them.
Then too, the coke trade has fallen off and
it will take time and money to build it up
again. 1t is estimated that the actual eX-
pense to the operators has been from 81, 900
to $4,000 day, while their loss entire will
foot up to over million of dollars.
Specials from the coke regions report that
a large number of strikers resumed work
to-day, but new complications have arisen
which may prevent a settlement of the
strike. At many of the ovens the strikers
reported for duty this morning, but would
not go to work unless the non-union men
were discharged. The operators refused to
concede this demand and the men returned
to their homes

BRITISH TRADE.

Salisbury Grows Fierce at the Men
ton of Competition.
LONDON, July 22.-The Marquis of Sails
bury, replying to deputation which called
to urge the government to take some action
to protect British trade from the effects of
foreign competition assisted by bounties, said
it was impossible to speak too strongly of
the injustice which the foreign bounty
systems inflicted on British workmen. A
European conference, he said would soon
consider the matter, and in the meantime
he could only say that there were two ways
for Englishmen to deal with their assailants
in this contest. If reasoning failed, English
men might return blows.

ALI Right But S5.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The count Of
cash in the Treasury, made necessary by
the transfer from Ex-Treasurer Jordan TO
Treasurer Hyatt has been completed. A
shortage of one piece in a sack Of quarter
eagles filled many years ago was discovered.
The sack bore tag giving the name of the
clerk who filed it, and as he is still in the
Treasury, he promptly made the shortage
good. When this money was passed to
Treasurer Jordan it was weighed, but not
counted. This time the pieces were counted
and the error was discovered. With this
exception, the cash was all right.
